Hits 14th homer Grossman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
Impact Grossman homered off Dane Dunning before the All-Star break, and Grossman homered off Dunning yet again in their first meeting after the mid-season pause. After a lengthy rain delay, Grossman brought the thunder in the first inning with a solo shot. While his average still sits at .229, the switch-hitter has hit safely in all but four of the 14 games he's played in July.

Returns to lineup Grossman (finger) will bat third and play left field Friday against the Twins.
Impact Grossman missed Thursday's game with a jammed finger, but the issue evidently wasn't a serious one. He recorded a hit in three straight games prior to the injury, a positive sign after he grabbed just five hits in his previous 14 games.

Dealing with jammed finger Grossman isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Twins due to a jammed finger, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Grossman's finger is swollen after he jammed it in Wednesday's series finale against Texas, so he'll be held out of the lineup as a result. It's not yet clear whether he could be available off the bench, but the left fielder should be considered day-to-day for now.

Not in Thursday's lineup Grossman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

Reaches base four times Wednesday Grossman went 1-for-2 with three walks and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.
Impact Grossman has long been known for his ability to draw a free pass, as he's had a walk rate of 12 percent or better in four of his past five seasons, and that skill was on display Wednesday. It's not the flashiest trait in fantasy circles, but if the veteran outfielder keeps getting on base at a healthy clip, he should be able to score a decent amount of runs. Grossman and Jonathan Schoop are currently tied for the team lead with 43 runs.

Ties career best in home runs Grossman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.
Impact Grossman's fourth inning solo shot was his 11th of the season, which ties his career high set back in 2016 with Minnesota. He needed 99 games to reach the mark that season versus just 82 games this year. Assuming he stays healthy, Grossman figures to set a new career best soon. The veteran outfielder has already set a career high with 10 stolen bases this season, as he's been quietly productive for the Tigers.

On base four times Friday Grossman went 2-for-3 with a pair of walks and a stolen base in Friday's 8-2 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Grossman enjoyed his first multi-hit effort since June 15 -- in the 13 games in between, he went just 5-for-50 with a home run, four RBI and five runs scored. The outfielder is up to 10-for-12 in stolen base attempts. He's slashed .226/.341/.385 with 10 home runs, 36 RBI and 40 runs scored across 347 plate appearances as an everyday option in the corner outfield spots.

Launches 10th home run Grossman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 13-5 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Grossman has been slumping lately with a .193/.273/.330 slash line in 22 June games before Monday's contest, though he does now have four home runs this month to give him 10 for the season. It's the first time he's reached double figures in long balls since he hit 11 with Minnesota back in 2016, and that figure also represents his career high, so Grossman stands a good chance of beating that mark this year.
